For many years, I was an invigilator for Cambridge English exams in Brisbane. I was always interested to see the changes in behaviour as the day progressed, and the language level of both the tests and the candidates increased. Even before the recording began, there were marked differences in the candidates’ approaches to getting ready to listen.
At the⬇️lowest levels, many candidates would simply look at the question paper, often turning over pages and looking ahead at later sections.
Atband6️⃣, candidates would use a highlighter to mark key parts of the questions, but several would highlightalmost all of the paper, rendering it useless.
Atthe highest 🔝level (bands 7️⃣ to 9️⃣), candidates would prepare to listen by highlighting only the key words and phrases they knew they would have to listen for in the test. This helped them not only to focus, but also to recognise the answers when they heard them. This is what you must do in the test.👉✔️

Importantly, the Federal Reserve has laid out the rationale for not interfering with that natural growth transition.It's not exactly a fad, but there is a widespread willingness to pay up for a growth story. Classic fundamental analysis takes a back seat. Even negative earnings are ignored. In fact, positive earnings seem to be a limiting measure, producing the question, "Is that all you've got?" The preference is a vision of untold riches when the exciting story plays out as expected.
